Map Spot Colors in PDF Files Using the Refine Process

  1. Locate these refined PDF pages and submit them to the Refine to PDF - Factory process template:
    • PrintBuyerGuide.p0001.pdf
    • PrintBuyerGuide.p0002.pdf
    • PrintBuyerGuide.p0003.pdf
    • PrintBuyerGuide.p0004.pdf
  2. In the Process Start dialog box, click Settings. The Spot Color Mapping list appears in the Process Template Settings dialog box.
    Note: The first time you access the Process Template Settings dialog box, Prinergy Evo loads the color libraries. This may take from 30 seconds to a few minutes.
    The Colors section of the Process Template Settings dialog box lists all colors defined in the input files. This job should output six colors (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black, PANTONE 703C, PANTONE 648C). You will map two of the eight colors to two other colors.


  3. In the Spot color mapping dialog box, map spot color names so that only the required colors will print.
    1. In the Color list, select PANTONE 648CV. Then, in the Action list, select PANTONE 355 CV. 
      Any object in the PDF files that was originally colored PANTONE 648CV will now be colored PANTONE 355 CV. 
    2. In the Color list, select PANTONE Orange 021. Then, in the Action list, select PANTONE 703 CV. 
    3. Click OK.
      Note: If you prefer, you can also select one of the spot colors and select Convert to process.
  4. In the Process Start window, click Go.
  5. View the status of the refine process in the Process Viewer window.
  6. Click Item History to view the detailed information about how Evo has refined the PDF pages successfully.
  7. Prinergy Evo has created new PDF pages. Note that the existing files have not been overwritten. Prinergy Evo adds a new extension to identify the new files:
    • PrintBuyerGuide.p0001.new.pdf
    • PrintBuyerGuide.p0002.new.pdf
    • PrintBuyerGuide.p0003.new.pdf
    • PrintBuyerGuide.p0004.new.pdf

You can now trap these new PDF pages or submit them for low-resolution or high-resolution output.
